How to use X-Streamity

Install the .ipk or .deb file depending on your image.
By default the plugin appears in your plugins. Can be set to appear in main menu via the settings page.
Firstly press "Menu" button on the main screen and setup your main settings.
The main settings are global and effect all playlists.

Add Playlist

You can either enter your playlist details via the "Add" option on main screen.
Alternatively you can manually enter your playlist details via the playlists.txt file
Code:
/etc/enigma2/X-Streamity/playlists.txt
Manual entry is in the format of
Code:
http://domain.xyz:port/get.php?username=user&password=pass&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
Edit playlist

Use this screen to amend your details and set your playlist stream types.
Especially important if you have manually entered your details via playlists.txt file.
EPG times will probably be offset when using this plugin. i.e might be 3 hours ahead.
Use the EPG timeshift option to adjust the times of your Live channels EPG.

Delete playlist

Delete playlist does not permantly delete your playlist.
This option puts a hash "#" on the line of your playlists in the playlists.txt file.
This comments out the playlist so it does not get shown in your list.
If you wish to permantly delete playlist. Remove the line manually from your playlists.txt file

User Info

This screen shows details information about your playlist account.
Including allowed stream types. Max users. Expiry date and your playlist URL for use in other applications.

Settings

The settings page are the global settings for the plugin and all your playlists.

Category List

Buttons.
< - Page Up
> - Page Down
0 - Return to Top
Red - Exit or Previous Screen
Green - Next Screen or Play
Yellow - Sort. Each press of yellow buttons sorts the lists as per the button description
Blue - Search.
Search - Only searches the current list on the left. It doesn't search sub folders.
If you wish to search all. Select the "All" category and search inside that category.
Selecting "All" might be slow to load.


FAQs


No picons/Vod Covers are showing.

Picons and VOD covers references are brought in my your provider. If these are empty then that is a provider issue.

EPG times are incorrect.

The majority of proividers will probably have a different timezone than your local timezone.
To adjust your EPG timeshift go into main screen. Highlight your provider and click "Edit" (Yellow).
EPG timeshift is at the bottom of the list.
EPG Timeshift is correct - but some times are out.
This seems to be a provider data issue. Contact your provider explaining the times are wrong for their enigma2.php API.

Your plugin says my playlist is incompatible or no data.

This plugin is for xtream codes playlists only it will not play any other type of playlist.
Not all playlists will be 100% compatible.
Lots of main IPTV providers are UK football blocked and will therefore be off when the football is on.
Lots of IPTV providers are GEO locked to a specific country. Try using a VPN for the GEO location of provider.

My playlists plays in another plugin but not in XStreamity

This plugin uses a small quick and simple API to bring in simplified data.
Some other plugins use the more advanced larger and slower API.
The 2 APIs are totally different.
Unfortunately if your playlist is not compatible, then you cannot use Xstreamity

Video resolution incorrect in infobar

It has been reported that exteplayer (5002) is showing incorrect video resolutions.
I cannot fix that, but if your press TV/PVR button to change the stream type to 4097. The resolution shown will be correct

Screen is just black when playing streams.

Press TV/PVR button while the stream is playling to toggle through the different stream types.
You might need to also edit your playlist settings to be a different stream type for that provider.
If all stream types have been tried and you still get a black screen, then it is probably just a dead stream.

I am getting a PVR screen overlay when showing infobar.

For example some skins have a seperate screen for the Play/Pause/FF state.
There is a setting on your box that you can turn on to remove this screen.
Normally lives under OSD settings.
Show PVR status in MoviePlayer Infobar. Set it to "YES"

Thanks kiddac

NOTE:For new DreamOS users struggling to find the settings for parental pin code you find it under:
menu **** setup **** service and recordings ****parental control

Update 24.03.2020

V.1.15

Whats new:
-Catchup - finally got catchup working.
-Catchup menu option can be turned off in settings if you don't have catchup.
-Some providers don't have catchup. Screen will still show but list will be blank
-Some providers seem to have catchup, all the channels are there, but nothing will play. Black screen. This is a provider error, not the plugin.
-Fonts - I have reduced the size of the fonts from 6mb down to 0.5mb. Win win.
-Skin - I have moved all the common elements into one folder rather than duplicating them all in the various skins. Win Win.
-Added in stop button for exitting the player.
-Background, splash screen and vodcover now have 1 pixel transparent pixel bottom right. Hopeful fix a VTI bug. Seagen... I am still not putting in larger 32bit images. :)
-Re-coded some of the lists so everything should play a little bit nicer.
-Amended the stop player on back. Now shows current tv and not black screen. (if option set in settings)
-Correct unlimited max connections showing as yellow and not green. (again)
-Removed the nag screen if more active users than allowed.

V.1.16

Fixed HD skin player crashes
Fixed FHD black skin not showing categories.
Amended alphatest for VTI images.
Fixed the catchup timeshift times. Its so bloody confusing.
Also added the streamtype into catchup infobar. That was missed.
Through my testing service type "1" seems to play more catchup streams that any other stream type.
And will now automatically replace any incorrect output=mpegts to ouput=ts

Update 30.03.2020

V.1.18

-Removed oldest item in catchup list. Always seems to be invalid.
-Default stream type for catchup is now 1. Can still be toggled, but 1 seems to be the stream type for catchhup for most things I am testing
-Added a pop up message if catchup stream slot is invalid and has no stream data.
-Put in category page numbers
-Save downloaded data for each page. So back button doesn't reload data. Moving forward through screens still loads external data again though.
This should speed up moving between menus. And I cache the first screen. So to refresh it, go out and back into the plugin.

V.1.19

Download VOD and Series

● Triggered by Record Button on Vod/Series Category pages.
● Download folder needs to be set in main settings (i.e. - media/hdd/movies )
● No notification of when download complete though
● Can download multi files at once
● Not to sure if you can download Cyrillc(Russian) or Greek as I have no code to convert these channel names to a valid filename. Only tested on English and European channels.


IMDB for VOD

● Triggered by EPG button on Vod/Series Category pages.
● Alternative IMDB information if provider info is missing or incorrect. Or you just want an alternative to the The Movie Database info. (TMDB)
● Not to sure if this works with Pure2. Does that have standard IMDB? or just the new funky IMDB.


Support for Subsupport DVB plugin if you have it installed on your box

● Triggered by sub button on VOD Player
● Allows the downloading of subtitles for any film in any language. Subtitles do not need to be embedded into the stream.
● Subsupport DVB plugin can be a little buggy. Had a few crashes caused by that plugin, not my plugin


● Fixed search causing a crash on some images

Update 07.04.2020

V.1.21

The skin background code was slowing the plugin down. Fixed it and is now as fast as it used to be.
Catchup default stream type changed back to 4097
Fixed overlapping of labels on back button
Fixed active/max connections amber LED.
Added in Recording option on Live player.
Press Record Button on playing stream. Enter dates and times.
Can have multiple downloads
But be warned no recording conflict test.
Changed the default download location to that of your boxes default movie folder. So no longer has to be primarily set.
Added in front display info for boxes that have it - Not all info is available though like event info and progress

Tried to put some stuck stream code in - Didn't work - so recommend you use oottpxx quarter pounder plugin (tested and works great for streamtype 4097)
Code:
https://github.com/oottppxx/enigma2/blob/master/plugins/quarterpounder/enigma2-plugin-extensions-quarterpounder-6.2.0j.ipk
Fixed Play/Pause/FF/RW icons not working correctly on inforbars

Fixed duplication of lists, so VOD screens should now be fixed, and hopefully people's memory size issues.

Resize VOD cover downloads to be maximum 400x600 pixels for those providers that use the official TMDB graphics. (A lot dont)
Changed the delayed download of VOD Covers and picons to 0.5 seconds. It was originally 1 second delay

Update 10.04.2020

V.1.24

  • Should have fixed Hide Categories
  • Should have fixed categories showing as [u ] unicode. Couldn't find one of these in testing, so just made sure its a string.
  • I have implemented some anti memory leak functionality. So hopefully that is now better.
  • I have rewrote VOD to use my own API key for searching The Movie Database. So this brings in fresh data and cover art. Instead of old stale data.
    Also if your provider had crap images and data, my version will hopefully be better.
    Fast scrolling on VOD might mean your cover art is 1 or 2 out. (due to my delayed download) Just go slow back and forward and correct info will load.
    We will see how long my TMDB api key lasts
  • Added Xstreamity to Extensions menu
  • Removed setting for download hi-res covers. No longer needed. As I bring them in the correct size now.
